I'm not even sure what the deal is on redistributing jre--Sun has sent lots of mixed signals. It looks like the package is binary redistributable, but not source. It ain't Free Software...

Also, jre just doesn't fit--it's 20 megs. We have 16 megs left on the CD to work with, unless we ditch something. Firefox is weighing in at 9.6 megs, so we're filling up fast...

As for yum, I'm not sure whether you want it or not there. I probably should add it...but I like apt/synaptic much more :)

At this point, DAG hasn't built his kernel-modules for Fedora's 2197 version kernel, so I can't really get 10001 out until he does that. I dropped him a message and let him know. He's super-responsive, so I'm sure that will get sorted out.

As for alsa-oss, I don't see that Freshrpms (the authoritative packager) has an RPM of it--it may be stuffed inside one of the other alsa-* RPMs. I thought I had OSS emulation going without the alsa-oss specific RPM. Perhaps you can check that?

I've been using Dag's kernel-modules for most things as he's the authoritative packager for many of them. Axel's kernel-module (and other packages) often require other packages that Dag doesn't require. I'd like to stick to the official FC1 kernel release (2197 at the moment) with other folks' kernel-modules built against it.

Hi I recently heard of another file sharing program from a friend who uses Gentoo Linux. He said that A program called Gift that uses fast track client runs peer to peer file sharing so it connects with kazaa. This would be awesome if it can be used in Blag. Here is the website gift.sourceforge.net Do not type www. at the begining of the web address.

I've checked out gift a bit. One thing I didn't like about it is that there seemed to be many "parts" involved. You didn't just launch the thing and connect and go. It requires you to set up a daemon, and to configure that by editing a text file to begin with. It just looked a little too crufty at this point. I'll take another peek though. If it's small enough.... :)
